FIVE YEAR STARE Guitarist Launches PILLBUSTER

January 8, 2010

FIVE YEAR STARE/ex-CODED guitarist Joe Festa has teamed up with drummer Josh Adkisson and bassist Desmond Hollister to create PILLBUSTER.

The members of PILLBUSTER merged together in the fall of 2009, ranging from the muddy back roads of Tennessee to the concrete jungle of New York, all converging on the ruins of a civil war battleground now turned present day breeding ground for the criminals and poverty stricken trash of Virginia.

The band produces the sounds remnicent of a time when metal dominated while hardcore was shaking the underground with enough force to disrupt the mainstream music scene. Influences obviously range from classic New York hardcore all the way down to the syrup-laden sounds of southern metal and sludge bands who have set the standard for what soul truly is.

Unrestricted by current cliche's or genres, PILLBUSTER possesses a mutual drive for heaviness among its members which is molding the bands unique sonic fabric.

PILLBUSTER is currently looking for a vocalist with melody and grit. Anyone who is interested can contact the band at [email protected].

Five demo tracks from PILLBUSTER are available for streaming at this location.
